InterScan
Web Security Appliance (IWSA) helps protect LAN users against Internet threats

including worms, network viruses, phish sites, spyware, and viruses. Optional IWSA modules can
also provide Web content filtering and security against malicious Java applets and ActiveX controls.
Use this Quick Start Guide to get IWSA up and running on your network, and then use the
Administrator's Guide to configure, update, and test IWSA.

Understand the IWSA server
Unless you modify the proxy settings, IWSA is pre-configured to transparently scan all inbound
and outbound Web traffic — your end-users do not need to modify their browser settings. You
can also configure IWSA to work with an ICAP client.

three ports. The lights and ports are explained in the table that follows.

Decide the network configuration
Before proceeding with the IWSA setup, decide where on the LAN you want the IWSA server to
sit. IWSA supports three topologies:
Network Bridge
Clients — network device — IWSA — network device — Internet
IWSA logo
& model number
HTTP proxy
Router, switch,
bridge, etc.
IWSA console
http://IP-address:1812
Clients
Pass traffic from one network device such as a switch, router, or firewall to another device for
delivery to the requesting client. IWSA acts as a bridge between the devices and transparently
scans passing HTTP and FTP traffic.
Configurations
If your physical network is comprised of multiple IP segments, and IWSA will scan traffic for
clients from a different segment, join IWSA to the clients' segment by giving it a bridge ID from
that segment. You can set bridge ID settings from the IWSA console (Administration >
Bridge ID Settings).
If an L3 switch or router that receives client traffic from one segment will connect to an IWSA
server residing in a different segment, modify the IWSA routing table or static route settings so
it points to the device.
Note: If your physical network has VLAN settings, bind the management IP or bridge IDs to
the specific VLANs. See the IWSA Solutions CD or online help for details.
If the clients and IWSA are in the same segment, no configuration is required.
HTTP proxy
Clients — IWSA — Internet
In HTTP proxy mode, configure client browsers to use IWSA as a proxy. Connect your
network (device) to IWSA port 1. The default proxy port number is 8080.
Cable
Description
Ethernet
Use an Ethernet cable to route internal network traffic to IWSA.

Route scanned traffic from IWSA to an external device
(for example, a firewall); this port is used only in bridge mode.

IWSA
By default, IWSA installs in bridge mode, and acts as a
forward proxy (scanning client requests and downloads),
and is fully transparent to the user.

IWSA (acting as ICAP server)
Choose this topology if you have an ICAP server on the network and you want it to pass traffic
to IWSA for scanning. IWSA will act as an ICAP server (and the original ICAP server then
behaves as an ICAP client). Connect your network device to IWSA port 1.

Notes on port usage
Use both the internal and external ports if you will be installing IWSA in bridge mode. Use only
the internal port for the other modes. Use port 5 to connect a laptop to the IWSA server and
run the system utilities from the IWSA Solutions CD.
Hardware setup
Use the chart below to prepare the network values for which IWSA will prompt you.

Mount the IWSA server
Mount the IWSA server in a standard 19-inch 4-post rack, or on a free-standing device such as a
sturdy desktop. Instructions can be found in the back of the Administrator's Guide, which is
available on the IWSA Solutions CD and from the Trend Micro Update Center.
When mounting the server, be sure to allow at least two inches clearance in all directions for cooling.

Power IWSA on and off
To power on IWSA, press and release the power on/off switch of the IWSA device.
IWSA would normally be powered off during maintenance (such as upgrading the memory)
or when moving it to a different physical location.
Notes:
Power off IWSA only during maintenance to minimize the impact on HTTP and FTP traffic interruption
If IWSA is powered off by unplugging the device, traffic will be interrupted
If IWSA is on network bridge mode and "Fail-open on system error" is enabled in the Web
console (IWSA Web Console > HTTP > Configuration > Proxy Scan Settings):
HTTP and FTP traffic will not be interrupted
If IWSA is powered off, HTTP and FTP requests and responses will be passed but the traffic
will not be scanned, leaving your network unprotected
To power off IWSA, press and then hold the Power on/off switch for 5 to 10 seconds. In
noisier environments, users will feel that the device stops vibrating.
